(1) The hotel is fairly new, the room was comfortable overall. The bed was excellent.
(2) The building's mechanical systems seemed to have issues despite being new. The room's front door was misaligned and difficult to close. The toilet was not properly bolted to the floor. When the thermostat was briefly set to "heat", it triggered the room's smoke detector which was located only about 18" from the air vent. Not a pleasant night-time surprise.
(3) The hotel lobby is, oddly, not on the ground floor and the elevators could be slow.
(4) Parking was a little bit of a challenge as the Albany-owned (?) parking lot's payment machines seemed to not work – repeatedly rejecting my credit card as “faulty” - forcing me to download the payment app and use that.
(5) There are a range of places to eat and drink (craft beers being ubiquitous), one withing 100’ of the hotel door.
Overall, I was happy with the experience, but I hope that the building issues are not representative of the Albany workforce’s construction skills.
